The title of this book is an ironic nod to a series of other “Turner in . . .” books that have appeared over the years. Although he never had the pleasure of setting foot in Indianapolis himself, the work of J.M.W. Turner was well represented here in the collection of attorney Kurt F. Panzer. The paintings, prints and letters—the foremost private collection of Turner’s work—was bequeathed to the IMA upon Panzer’s death in 1979. Turner in Indianapolis presents the body of work in an academic, yet lavish production that reveals the importance of one of art’s most towering figures.
